We are now in my Top 20 songs, out of 200 on the list. These are my favorite songs of the genre, ones I listen to all the time and never tire of hearing. It's been a long road since I began this blog with #200 on April 13th, but now we are entering the home stretch. Here we go!
Peter Godwin came to fame as a hard rocker with the band Metro in his native England. After that group broke up in 1981 Godwin went solo, changing his sound to fit the new wave zeitgeist that was then taking hold in Britain and internationally. He quickly recorded an EP, Images Of Heaven, which was well-received. The title track was a masterpiece, with driving percussion matching innovative synth work in perfect harmony. Godwin would go on to release another EP the same year, the success of both enabling him to produce his acclaimed LP Correspondence one year later. "Images Of Heaven" takes the #20 spot on my Top 200, marking Peter Godwin's only appearance on my list.
Top 20 for sure! And his entire Oglio collection CD is great from start to finish too !
